TIL Desk/World/Washington/ United States President Donald Trump has demanded that the European nations take back more than 800 Islamic State fighters captured in Syria and put them on trial, warning that the US otherwise will be forced to free the jihadists after it pulls out from the war-torn country. US President Trump surprised the world by announcing in December that he was withdrawing 2,000 American troops from the war-torn Syria.
He also warned the Islamic State that America would hit them hard from nearby military bases if the terror outfit regains momentum.US-backed fighters are set to capture IS’s last tiny stronghold in Syria, bringing an end to its self-declared caliphate.
“The United States is asking Britain, France, Germany and other European allies to take back over 800 ISIS fighters that we captured in Syria and put them on trial. The Caliphate is ready to fall. The alternative is not a good one in that we will be forced to release them,” Trump said.
